Shabby chic comes to the heart of Bird Rock

Bird Rock Arts has handpicked some of the best San Diego vendors of handcrafted shabby chic jewelry, vintage clothing, paintings and furniture for its first monthly Shabby Chic Fair on Aug. 4 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

“We want to bring to the La Jolla community what the shabby chic artists are producing in San Diego. Bird Rock Arts is about bringing people, artists, styles and community together,” said Bird Rock Arts co-owner Maria Parenteau. “We found out that people go far away looking for shabby and chic. Now, once a month, on the last Saturday of the month, they will have it right here.”

In addition to featuring works from artists from all over San Diego, the fair will highlight a portrait-painting demonstration with master artist Kazuaki Uehara, French tunes in the background as you shop, mimosas for early shoppers, and fine art and jewelry from other featured artists from the Bird Rock Arts Gallery.

The Shabby Chic Fair will take place at Bird Rock Arts Gallery’s lot on the corner of La Jolla Boulevard and Camino de la Costa. For more information, call (909) 965-1802 or email creamc@me.com.
